The Cheetahs start their campaign against Irish club Ulster at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast on Friday (September 1), before facing Munster at Thomond Park the following week (September 9).It’s a strong Cheetahs squad for the trip to Ireland, but they’ll have to make do woithout regular captain Francois Venter, who was no considered due to his involvement with the Springboks.Another Springbok, flank Oupa Mohoje, was also not considered due to a rub injury.The Cheetahs' first home game in the competition is against Italian club Zebre on September 17.Cheetahs’ 28-man squad: Charles Marais, Ox Nche (frontrow), Joseph Dweba, Jacques du Toit, Torsten van Jaarsveld, Erich de Jager, Aranos Coetzee, Tom Botha, Justin Basson, Armandt Koster, Reniel Hugo, Rynier Bernardo, Paul Schoeman (looseforward), Henco Venter, Gerhard Olivier, Niell Jordaan, Shaun Venter (scrumhalf), Tian Meyer, Zee Mkhabela, Cecil Afrika (midfield), Robbie Petzer, Makazole Mapimpi (wing), Ali Mgijima, William Small-Smith (midfield), Rayno Benjamin, Rosko Specman (midfield), Sergeal Petersen (fullback), Clayton Blommetjies

gamebreakers according to me in bold and Rosko Specman the centre a game winner! Cheetahs have a tough first year in that they played S18 and are playing in the Currie Cup same time as Pro14, they have 56 players to counter that demands!
